Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

They saw the defenses supporting the fragments of the Crimson Realm, and the players struggling to hold on.

And those flesh-and-blood monsters that are generally over two meters tall, have hard exoskeletons, and can shoot bone spikes from their bodies.

Xiong Mi knew how these monsters came to be. The [Hospital] released spatial rifts at various weak points in the Tokyo city area, and then used the edge space between the real world and the instance to create factory areas. Through conversion machines, living people were turned into monsters, and then these monsters were used to create even larger-scale killings.

Essentially, these fleshy monsters are derivatives of the uncanny creatures, but due to their mass production, their quality is extremely low, they lack immortality, and aside from their relatively robust bodies, they possess no special abilities. Even so, dealing with such monsters is extremely dangerous for ordinary people or weaker Twilight-level players. These creatures always appear in hordes and exploit the complex environment of the city, making them a nightmare for those without combat experience and insufficient firepower.

However, that only applies to ordinary people and low-level players.

"Let's go!"

As Cat Brother spoke, a playing card appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the card sliced ​​several monsters that were trying to break through the blood-red barrier in half.

Jianbing drew his ancient Tang sword, took a step and beheaded a fleshy monster that hadn't even realized what was happening, then took another step and beheaded two more.

The lawyer closed the book, the metal clappers at the edges clicking shut with a crisp sound. The next moment, he swung the chain, smashing the heavy book across the head of a flesh-and-blood monster. With another pull on the chain, the book smashed into the chest of another monster, shattering its exoskeleton, which was strong enough to withstand a rocket at close range.

buzzing-

The blood-red chainsaw roared.

Xiong Mi took out a blood-red chainsaw belonging to the [Tommello Slaughterhouse], one of the very few Red Moon-level obsession items that could be mass-produced. Gao Hai also had one of these, and it had always been one of his favorite execution tools. Xiong Mi didn't have any particular reason for taking it out now; she simply needed a weapon suitable for close combat.

"Don't waste your obsessions and blessings on these trash; deal with them in melee combat as soon as possible."

After leaving behind these final words, Xiong Mi's chainsaw struck a fleshy monster charging towards him, cleaving it diagonally in two.

Tick-tick-tick-

The monster's blood fell onto the shattered streets, mingling with the torrential rain.

Xiong Mi, Jian Bing, Cat Brother, and the lawyer stood before the survivors and players, facing the darkness ahead and the ever-growing number of twisted monsters emerging from it.

"They're Red Moon level players! I know them, they're from the Lazybones gang!"

Some tired players recognized Xiong Mi and the others and shouted excitedly.

"Great! A Red Moon-level player has arrived! We're saved!"

Another player collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and laughed as he spoke.

Many survivors were confused about what had happened, but when they saw the players protecting them, they were relieved. The way Xiong Mi and his companions appeared was so violent that everyone gained confidence, and the crowd, which had been in chaos due to the monster attack, regained some order.

"Hey, it's not time for you to rest yet. Hurry up and organize the survivors. We'll take care of dealing with the enemies ahead. Don't just stand here and watch the show."

Cat Bro turned around with some dissatisfaction and said something to the people behind him, then pulled out a baseball bat from somewhere and slung it over his shoulder.

The monsters ahead had swarmed out, charging densely towards the four people.

No more nonsense.

There was no hesitation, and no need for thought.

At that moment, the four players also stepped forward, heading towards the monsters ahead.

click-

The books, bound by metal rams and chains, were the first to shatter the monster's body.

The baseball bat, clearly not a normal bat, produced a sonic boom when swung, and the monster's entire body exploded on the spot with a single blow.

The Tang sword cut through the rain, severed the monster's body, then chopped off its head, and then struck down the next monster that charged forward.

The chainsaw, roaring and howling, tore through the monsters like a beast, silencing the roars of these inhuman creatures.

The four people took a step forward.

Swarms of monsters fell before them.

A fleshy monster dodged the flying chains and shot a bone spike at the lawyer, who caught it and threw it back, piercing the monster's head and sending it flying backward to crash into another monster behind it.

Several more monsters tried to bypass the four people, so Cat Brother casually flipped over a wrecked van on the side of the road with one hand. However, he hit the van with a baseball bat, turning it into a baseball and smashing the monsters that were trying to dodge.

Jianbing brandished his blade, easily deflecting several bone spikes like a whirlwind. With another slash, a blade of energy flew forward amidst the torrential rain, instantly beheading two flesh-and-blood monsters.

Xiong Mi charged forward, letting the chainsaw pierce through one monster, two monsters, three monsters, and then violently swung the chainsaw, splitting the three monsters strung together in two. Then he punched the head of a monster that was trying to sneak up, smashing its entire head open.

The four people took eight steps forward.

The entire street had been stained blood red.

The densely packed monsters continued their charge amidst sharp roars; they knew nothing of fear, and only death could halt their advance.

So the players gave them their deaths, crushing these bloodthirsty beasts with the purest violence.

Boom!

Amidst the heavy roar, the lawyer's waving books crashed into a building not far away, shearing off a small portion of one of its floors on the spot.

Boom! ! !

Another loud bang was the sound of Jianbing's blade shattering the ground, causing the street to collapse and burying more than a dozen flesh-and-blood monsters in the sewers below.

Rumbling--

The blood-red chainsaw continued to roar incessantly. Xiong Mi almost turned around at that moment. The roars of the monsters around her were no match for the howling of the chainsaw and could only be shattered by her in silence.

Boom, boom! ! !

Amidst the continuous explosions, monsters attempted to bypass the players and attack those behind them. Cat Bro, without even looking, casually waved his hand, sending out several more playing cards that instantly severed the heads of those self-important creatures.

tread--

Xiong Mi took another step forward, his footsteps splashing up large amounts of mangled flesh.

The monsters have stopped charging.

They don't understand fear, nor do they retreat, but their controllers do. When it's clear that breaking through the enemy's defenses is impossible, the ones directing these creatures will try to change tactics, attempting to remotely control them to find other ways to breach the defenses, instead of foolishly sacrificing their entire force.

At this point, as the mastermind issues the order, the command conveyed through the power of the supernatural will reveal the other party's location.

hum-

Then the black cloak fell into the dark rain.

The sound was torn apart in an instant.

From the rooftop of a skyscraper on the side of the street, Shao Ye plummeted like a cannonball, instantly shattering windows within a hundred-meter radius. Amidst the violent sonic boom, he located a hidden spatial rift and fell directly into it, smashing the fleshy monsters still emerging from the rift into a bloody mist like a train hitting birds.

The flames ignited in an instant.

The sword that Shao Ye brandished was engulfed in flames, and exploded with a single swing, unleashing an intense burst of fire.

In the fierce wind, the cloak that covered her head fell down.

Then her face was revealed, her face, clearly burned by flames and covered with ugly scars, was exposed.

She raised her head and looked at the monstrous creatures roaring madly before her.

She had no eyes; where the woman's eyes should have been were two dark, empty holes.

Then, charred hands crawled out of her eyes.

The roaring monsters were grabbed by these black hands and dragged into Shao Ye's eyes.

crunch - crunch -

As Shao Ye chewed, he dragged the burning blade forward.

This rift leads to the edge space, to a very small edge space, only the size of a football field.

A huge, blood-stained machine exists in this space, constantly emitting sharp, loud noises and spewing out fleshy monsters.

Shao Ye, dragging her sword, walked silently to the thing and stared at it with her empty eye sockets, her eyes filled with countless tiny eyeballs.

boom! ! !

A violent tremor came from behind. The flesh-and-blood monsters, whose behavior had changed due to the new orders, were stunned for a moment. Then, with a roar, they reverted to being mindless beasts and began to charge at any living person within their line of sight without regard for anything else.

"The flesh and blood machines have been confirmed destroyed. There's no need to worry about leaving a record. Lawyer, take them."

Upon hearing the explosion, Xiong Mi knew that Shao Ye had taken care of things, and casually remarked to the lawyer beside her.

"Alright, then, I hereby announce: you are all sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately."

The lawyer nodded, took back the blood-stained book, opened it, and read the following passage in a calm tone.

Then, the monsters stopped moving.

Like robots that have lost power, or toys that have stopped winding up, all the flesh and blood monsters stopped moving and stood still.

Bang!

The first monster's head exploded, twitched twice on the ground, and then stopped moving.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

One after another, the heads of the fleshy monsters exploded, and they fell one after another, losing their lives.

In less than a few seconds, hundreds of flesh-and-blood monsters that could easily kill low-level players were reduced to headless corpses.

Meanwhile, Jianbing had already taken his computer and walked to the back of the street, to the bus carrying the survivors, and stood in front of the players who were already dumbfounded.

"The survivors in the vicinity have already gathered together, right? I'll take you to the nearest safe zone."

Jianbing looked at the player in charge of driving and spoke.

"Oh...oh...um, okay, esteemed Red Moon-level player, shall we head towards Vault D4?"

The player hesitated, then hesitated again, and finally asked in a low voice, instinctively using a very awkward honorific for Jianbing.

“Just call me Jianbing. I’m no more noble than you. Vault D4 is too far away, and it’s almost full. Let’s go to Vault D2. It’s closer, and it has enough capacity for the remaining personnel.”

Jianbing shook his head, and while speaking, he turned on his computer and started fiddling with it.

"Hey, heading to D2? This..."

The player scratched his head, looking at the road that had been destroyed by the Moyu Gang. He had originally intended to lead the group of survivors to the D2 shelter, but the problem was that this was the only road that was still relatively intact and passable, and the Moyu Gang had come up and destroyed the entire road.

Of course, he didn't intend to blame the "Slacking Off Gang." After all, he and his companions couldn't possibly handle several hundred flesh-and-blood monsters; without the Slacking Off Gang's help, they would have been wiped out. The problem was that the road was now destroyed, and this bus couldn't possibly fly across it, could it? Even if these players were indeed incredibly powerful, like little superheroes, it was impossible for them to carry dozens of survivors unharmed through the collapsed road to the shelter, right?

The player, feeling somewhat embarrassed, was trying to think of a more tactful way to put it, but didn't notice Jianbing fiddling with the computer.

"No problem, just skip a little step."

Enter the vehicle's license plate number, the coordinates of Vault D2, and then a string of code. Jianbing, looking relaxed, spoke casually to the driver, lightly pressing a key on the computer to change the displayed "Distance" value to 0, then pressing Enter to run the code.

The next second, the vehicle carrying the survivors arrived directly in front of the gate of Vault D2.
